Industry award for UK security officer

A security officer from Axis Security has received an award for distinctive service in the ACS Pacesetters scheme

An Axis Security officer, Jameel Jobey, has been recognised with a Security Officer of Distinction Award at the second ACS Pacesetters Achievement Awards Luncheon, held at the Royal Windsor Racecourse on 20th May.

Jameel has worked at the Woking Shopping Centre for three and a half years, and his hard work warranted Jonathan Rushworth, Site Security Manager, to nominate him for the award.

Jameel has twice prevented shoplifters from stealing approximately c.£2,000 worth of goods, contained an assault and racial abuse case on two shopkeepers, and successfully resuscitated an elderly lady who had fallen and was not breathing.

Chris Wisely, Managing Director at Axis Security Services, emphasised the training that his officers undertake: “We train our officers to a high level, so they are fully equipped to deal with any situation, however challenging.”

Jameel is delighted to be recognised for an award: “I am happy to help everyone at Woking Shopping Centre, visitor or employee, creating a safer environment for all.”

The ACS Pacesetter Achievement Awards recognise officers who have given meritorious service to the industry over a long period of time, or have averted some major crisis on their client’s premises. This year, 14 officers were awarded with the Security Officer of Distinction Award.

ACS Membership comprises security companies within the top 15% of benchmarking and achievement levels set by the Security Industry Authority Approved Contractor Scheme. Currently, 790 companies have achieved ACS accreditation, however only 119 are eligible to join the Pacesetters, proving best in class – Axis Security sits securely within the top 5% of the benchmarked companies.
